no the point is, Krieders mistakes and lack of production are magnified because our star scorer isn't producing. there is no luxury for mistakes. Krieder should be developing in an environment of success led by proven NHL players. when they struggle and refuse to shoot and make passes to ghosts
the patience of coach John is taxed. so he takes it out on the new guy

If the team was winning and Kreider was playing the exact same way, the only difference is that he'd look out of place on a winning NHL team, instead of on a losing one.

The kid is not NHL ready. That much was clear when the team sent him down before Nash was injured.
